there's no outlet in a slide because the slide moves which would make wiring difficult and the manufacturers don't appear to want to think outside the box.

That way it would lay out the cable when sliding open and roll it back up when sliding closed.
My slide has two light fixtures on the ceiling, one sconce on the outside wall, and one outlet just above the sofa on the outside wall so there has to be wires running into the slide somewhere. As far as I know, almost all slides have light fixtures in the ceilings. Should not be rocket science to run a wire to the bottom of a wall to put in a plug outlet.
